Footage of a protester <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/yaf\/status\/1584667429858598912\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">shredding and consuming<\/a> pages of a Bible quickly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/protesters-outside-matt-walsh-speech-shred-pages-of-bible-eat-them-walsh-responds-your-choice-america\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">began circulating online<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The Daily Wire has learned that the Bible belonged to Nick Proell, a local teenager who joined peers from his church to preach and start conversations about God\u2019s design for human sexuality among left-wing demonstrators gathered outside of the event. In an interview with The Daily Wire, Proell explained that the copy of the Scriptures was a Legacy Standard Bible purchased for roughly $100 at the end of last year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was my personal study Bible that I used every single day,\u201d Proell explained. \u201cAt church, at Bible study, to preach, you name it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Proell had briefly set his Bible down in order to engage a crowd of protesters in conversation. When he later saw pages blowing in the wind, he realized that his Bible was missing. \u201cRight away, I connected the dots,\u201d he recounted. \u201cThey also stole our camera and equipment \u2026 batteries, chargers, and microphones, that cost more than $1,000.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When he later saw the footage of a red-headed individual eating pages of the Bible, Proell quipped that he was glad to see him \u201cdigesting God\u2019s word.\u201d Proell had decided to street preach at the event because \u201cas a Christian I\u2019m called to love God and love my neighbor as myself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf I saw someone walking off a cliff, how much would I have to hate them to see them walking off a cliff and not tell them there\u2019s a way out? These people are just like me before Jesus, sinners who love their sin and hate God,\u201d he said. \u201cBut praise God, he gives sinners the greatest joy, peace, and pleasure when he saves their soul from destruction. And now, because God saved me, I have so much joy. I want to go and tell everyone about this life-changing good news, that you can be reconciled to your Creator by repenting of your sins and trusting in Jesus, who bore the punishment we deserve for our sins in our place by dying on a cross. It\u2019s the most loving message I could tell anyone.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Proell explained that radical gender ideology and child mutilation are fundamentally opposed to the biblical worldview since \u201cGod made man and woman in his image,\u201d each with distinct roles and characteristics, but \u201cnevertheless equal\u201d in value.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGod uniquely chooses who we are and what our purpose is. He decides if we\u2019re a man or a woman, not us,\u201d he continued. \u201cMen weren\u2019t designed to chop off their penises and call themselves women. It\u2019s a foolish thing to try and play God.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Proell recalled that Jesus and the apostles were often despised and rejected for their message: \u201cThis is exactly what happened to us last night, and it is something we as Christians should expect to happen if we\u2019re living out the Christian life.\u201d However, Proell expressed confidence that some degree of good came from the destruction of his copy of the Scriptures.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Bible says, \u2018God does all things for the good of those who love him, who are called according to his purpose.\u2019 I hope that by them stealing the Bible and people seeing the footage, the narrative changes,\u201d he said. \u201cI hope that people realize it\u2019s not just a right-versus-left thing, it\u2019s an attack on truth and the standard of truth, God himself. That the question \u2018What is a Woman?\u2019 is about more than just gender or sex. It\u2019s about truth. It\u2019s about God.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile I lost $100 and a Bible that meant so much to me, it\u2019s just a material object. Unlike in many other countries, I can always buy another one. And I know that God\u2019s word will go out and, as the Lord says, \u2018It will not return void.\u2019 Later in the evening, I saw many students walking around with pages in their hands. Whether reading or mocking, I know that seeds were planted. And I pray that God waters those seeds, saving souls and changing lives for the better.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A young street preacher reacted to a protester stealing and eating his beloved personal Bible\u00a0\u2014 during a demonstration against Daily Wire host Matt Walsh\u00a0\u2014 by emphasizing the forgiveness found in Christ.
